Another beautiful weekend

Pilots,

Another fair weather weekend made for some wonderful flying.

Some maintenance updates:

Cessna 68U has received her new Attitude Gyro, and has been installed.

Cessna 20U had her seat mangled. I really can't describe it any other way - if you don't know about the seat up-lock in 20U, please ask someone, as it is unusual and non-intuitive. Thrashing about in the seat trying to will it to comply is unlikely to work, and is likely to result in a $500 cessna part bill.

For that matter, none of our aircraft respond well to force. Please ask someone before ripping the planes apart if they're not acting in the way you would expect. We're quite understanding about routine breakages, and honest "oops" items, it's part of our normal day -- but the recent mangling of Julie's door and now 20U's seat were anything but reasonable.



Cessna 04H has a new set of spark plugs.

Cessna 17J has a new set of spark plugs.

We anticipate some avionics work in 68U, 20U, and 04H this week and next. We will manage them to minimize downtimes of multiple planes, but expect 2-3 days at a time for a single plane.

Fly Safe!
